I've owned my .308 X-Bolt Hunter for several years now and have yet to experience the loose, wiggly, rattling magazine. The magazine on mine fits very snug even when empty. Guess I got lucky.


I guess you did. Mine have all been long action. Maybe they fit better when shorter. Dunno but I'm 3 for 3 on wigglers.
